been our voice inside syria. he put his own safety at risk repeatedly at his request, i should add, to tell us about the brutality of the assad regime. the horrors of the war raging around him. the freedom to speak out. he did it over and over, bravely speaking with us more than a dozen times. speaking truth to the ongoing lies the assad regime has repeatedly told. this week we learned that zaidoun and his brother were taken away by syria's secret police. their relatives say time is of the essence to win their release. they created a facebook page to raise awareness and demand their freedom. they want us to tell their story in the hopes that someone inside syria will listen. we're not forgetting them. tonight and neither should you. we want to take a moment to listen to my first conversation with zaidoun more than a year ago, and his explanation of why he was willing to put himself in danger to speak with us. >> when i chant i want freedom. i can hear my voice for the first time in my life. how can i give up this

christmas did not bring peace to syria. death toll rises each day with the estimates as high as 4,000 lives lost. president bashar assad struggled to hold on to power, the regime is still dealing with a major defection by a top general. leland vittert has the developments. >> reporter: continues to use helicopter and fighter jets at will. rebels now have the momentum. the amateur video confirmed shows the rebels fighting for back of the pickup trucks and turned in to machine gun carriers and they tighten it on the base. the less equip rebels fighting for whatever fire power they can find or build. this is a school that has been taken over by the assad thugs explained this rebel. before launching a homemade rocket from nearby building. other videos from around the country show free syrian army fighters using the same crude weapon. however, turning citizens to seasonals with little or no training doesn't always work. they have many armor in the rebels stronghold. but the force appears to be waning as the rebels gape control.
